Located
in the heart of National Capital Territory of Delhi, Maulana Azad Institute of
Dental Sciences enjoys the best of what Old and New Delhi has to offer.
Surrounded by Chandni Chowk, Daryaganj, Connaught Place and the Ferozshah
Kotla, it is at the hub of cultural, entertainment and intellectual activities.
MAIDS is situated in a spacious campus alongside the city's four prestigious
landmark hospitals namely, Maulana Azad Medical College, Lok Nayak Hospital, G.
B Pant and Guru Nanak Eye Centre.
The
first mention of Lok Nayak Hospital (formerly Irwin hospital) can be traced to
10th January 1930 when Lord Irwin laid down the foundation stone of the
hospital. Indian Medical Service at that time was heavily manned by the
British. In 1940, Col. Curickshank of the Indian Medical Service (IMS), a
British national, was appointed Medical Superintendent of Irwin Hospital and
Chief Medical Officer of New Delhi. The medical and dental institute derived
its name from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad who was the first Union Minister of
education and scientific research of independent India.
The
dental wing of Maulana Azad Medical College, as this institute was called
originally was served by honorary dental surgeons Dr. P. P. Sawhney and Dr. P.
K. Khurana. Later on Dr. P. P. Thukral, joined Maulana Azad Medical College as
the first Associate Professor in Dentistry and Head of the Dental Wing in Nov
1983 when the First BDS batch was started. He was succeeded by Dr. A. N.
Srivastava, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, who headed the Dental Wing from
1984 till 1989.
Dr. N.
C. Sangal, another Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon headed the Dental Wing from
1991 till 1995 when Dr. Mahesh Verma took over the reins.
In
2003, the dental wing was separated from MAMC as Maulana Azad Dental College
and Hospital and was a granted an independent status under the Government of
NCT of Delhi. Dr. Mahesh Verma became the first principal of the college in
2002. The Institute saw a continuous increase in faculty members to share the
ever increasing workload. The year 1987 saw joining of Dr. Sangeeta Talwar, Dr.
Sadhana Mate, Dr. Meera Chowdhary and Dr. Bali closely followed in 1991 by Dr.
Tulika Tripathi, Dr. Arundeep Kaur and Dr. Harpreet Grewal. The ever increasing
growth our family since then has led to our present strength of more than 55
faculty members.
